Backing up stock rom before flashing another - Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi
I have been following the thread for the linage os in the View 10 forum.
Several people have reported it working on Honor 9 Lite which is treble compatible, before I try it out however I wanted to be sure I could go back to my current rom which is the official LLD-L31 for the UK honor 9 lite.
My current build number is LLD-L31 8.0.0.121(C432)
What options do I have to restore if I don't like the rom I flash?
So far I have managed to pull the System & ODM folders to my pc. all except the Vendor file due to a permissions error.
Is this enough? Can I simply push these folders back? and at which point do I attempt the push? When booted/in recovery etc?
Otherwise, Is there an official or unofficial Huawei/Honor restore tool? or maybe a full rom I can flash? HiSuite says it has this function, but my device isn't listed.
Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I flashed a rom & it was always via TWRP I understand treble roms are flashed via the stock recovery though

I have the same model and have also been following the thread. My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.
There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.
BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.

Thanks for the reply, I suspected that's how it worked, just flash back the original system image.
I think I'm gonna hang fire for the time being until I know I have the correct firmware to go back if needed, hopefully the camera will be sorted by then too.

I flashed a firmware today and couldn't revert to stock because can't find it. Any ideas?

When you unlocked your bootloader and before you overwrote your system partition you should have taken a backup of your stock system partition so you can restore it. Honor has not made the firmware available yet as far as I know.

Just in case I decide to try this, how do I get a flashable file?
I pulled the contents of system + odm via ADB but just ended up with 2.3GB of folders.
Can I convert this to a flashable .img file? Or should I have done this another way?

found description for how to do it for v10 on another site:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img
this implies root is required so I guess you would:
1. unlock bootloader
2. load TWRP.
3. load root (su).
4. reboot back into TWRP and save system.img.
However, you make it work you need to make sure system.img is saved before any changes are made.

I was thinking about this today & came to the same conclusion.
The idea is to pull a clean unmodified system image, but the only way to do that is by using root privileges SU, then via TWRP - Does that not make it a modified image?
Maybe I'm thinking about it too much:silly:
What Root method & TWRP versions have Honor 9 Lite users had success with? I'm keen to give this a go

Not TWRP as that is the recovery partition (recovery.img) not the system partition (system. Img). Not sure about root though as i believe that does add stuff in one, or more, of the system sub folders, maybe someone else can confirm, but if you're using superuser then unzipping that should tell you what's being added and where. However, if you think about it, this has always been a bit of an issue with any android. You cannot take a nandroid backup without some kind of custom recovery so how can you ever take a snapshot of the stock rom. Specialised tools can do it as they can dump the entire rom but how can any android be dumped in full straight out of the box without first changing something.?
You could try this:
https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/
but it never really worked properly for me.

Great, that's good news. Please report back with a link so we can all share. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Great news about TWRP too, I look forward to trying it out.

Update Available 2.19.401.2

Here you can download OTA, fresh firmware or system image to update your device.
OTA_M8_MINI_UL_K44_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_2.19.401.2-2.18.401.3_release_448048.zip [41.2 MB]
firmware.zip only [19.6 MB]
2.19.401.2_boot_system_2015-09-21--20-48-04_KOT49H.zip [TWRP] [1.15 GB]
Downloads: mega
​Let's see what's underneath
Main difference, I believe, is a security fix (libStageFright). I assume, that's it:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/framework/conscrypt.jar
/system/framework/framework3.jar
/system/lib/modules/moc_crypto.ko.sig.3.4.10
Zip also contains lots of *.p files (odexes, apk, jars mainly). Viewable through windows explorer. Don't know, what's that. Looks like a hash or a signature.
OTA includes firmware.zip containing {boot, hboot, recovery}, which can be opened through WinRAR (7Zip 15β failed). If you want just firmware, take it. Should be fastboot flashable.
*Additional notes*
Next lines describe my experience before I returned the device state to nearly stock.
Hello there. )
Want to share my experience. I have 2.18.401.3 and got promt to upgrade to 2.19.401.2.
Basically, as I get it, you need original recovery and that's it. (Pushed original kernel just in case. Also device is unlocked (tampered))
But under updating process the script mechanism checks some files to be original. Many system odexes, framework stuff and some libs.
My update failed on checking Books.odex (meanwhile, this app was deleted and redownloaded as user-app)
So, I might try to edit updater-script later or just copy files from update to folders they belong. The ota got a simple and obvious updater script for people who used to deal with them before. I'm considering delete parsing part or just push on screen what gives fail, but let updating happen. Need to be tested with system backup.

My update stopped for "basicdreams.odex". If you are able to get the update flashed do let the community know
TWRP system backup added

I tried to update from recent backup (the one before I changed kernel and deleted system apps), but facebook.odex didn't let me.
Finally, the very first backup did it. I took only system and boot, switched twrp recovery to htc, skipped all setup and installed OTA over fresh system.
Here you go. Now you have TWRP image of this update.
BTW, kernel version is different. CL build number is the same.
Hi,
can't I just flash it somehow with TWRP?
The standard update way does not work for me, because of changed *.odex files.
Already tried to flash original recovery etc.
Thanks

Unfortunately you cannot flash this with TWRP.
Is there a possibility to install this update (or any OTA updates) without having a "not-touched" system?
I could of course flash the TWRP recovery (what I've already done - it worked) but in that case I lose all my modifications. Is it possible to restore the TWRP recovery from that post and afterwards restore my own recovery without overwriting the system files which are needed to be up to date?
Thanks

You can try to restore the TWRP backup in the post. And yes, you will lose every mod since it is a backup of the stock, unrooted firmware.
The main problem of flashing the OTA zip would be that you will have to relock the bootloader before installing . So if you unlock it again, the internal storage will be wiped. The best way is to backup everything(Including the internal storage) and then proceed.
Actually, you can save your data while upgrading from non-worthy stock.
So, you may do this
Full backup, you never know what can go wrong.
Save or make a note of what you changed by yourself in system (from busybox to xposed & various modes.). You may use TB for sys-apps and simple file copying for modes. *
Restore updated system image from 1st post, so you have updated system.
See if it worked out and restore/reinstall your other system stuff.
* Remember, you still may access files of your twrp backup images through some archiver. Like I do using 7-Zip.
It's very important to save backup somewhere, cause it might be that my image can be not absolutely clean or can be not absolute right for your phone (like sell location difference). So it'll be easy to return back to working machine.
For this purposes I also setted up my TB for daily auto-backup of texts and settings and weekly backup of apps.
---
Don't sure about relock for upgrading. It seems to be launching, but it needs pure system and original boot & recovery. Some fastboot-magic helps here. That's how I did it after restoring to the very first backup.
So I have build number 2.18.161.3 rooted software on Vodafone, and received an OTA update build number 2.18.161.5-2.18.161.3. Obviously when I come to update it it goes to my custom recovery and can't go any further.
A couple of queries though I wanted to delete all the bloatware from my stock rom, after rooting I found I needed to S-Off as the bloatware keeps coming back on reboot so here are my queries.
Can I delete the APK files from the new OTA update and will this remove them if I install the OTA as a zip through custom recovery. Or can I use this update to wipe the bloatware from it all advice would be helpful

For bloatware removal just push a custom boot.img. Liberty kernel or dt2w presented here works fine, you may try them at least with making a backup of original kernel at first. (Custom made kernel might give you permission to write to /system without being s-off.)
I used liberty one, recently flashed the one with double tap to wake, works perfectly fine. Even sd is fine.
I'm not into kernels, perhaps as long as they suit your device they are fine.
OTA have its script, if it has such strings or if you write it into the script, you may delete some apps. Maybe, didn't try nothing with ota scripting. It easier to find working universal bloatware removal script as flashable zip package.
Otherwise, ota just adds some stuff or replaces current stuff.

If it has EE applications then it is an EE branded phone. Your updates will arrive differently and will have a different software number. So using the Europe zip will not help.

Excellent thanks for the reply so in short,
Grab the downloads from above (4 in total?)
Push and override existing TWRP recovery back to stock recovery (Dumbass Details would be helpful as I have not done this in ages)
copy the ADB the new rom to the phone (Again please forgive me as I have not done this in a few years need a memory jog)
Again thanks in advance

If you'll ask more specificly, I'll provide even shorter reply. )
As I get it, you ask for some short check-list / instruction
You need one of three files I uploaded, based on what do you want. )
You can flash big 1 gb system image v2.19.401.2 through twrp.
You can grab small upgrade package and update your 2.18.401.3 by yourself to have 2.19.401.2. Original firmware and fresh rom state might be needed.
You have other needs, you need just freshest kernel or etc., you grab firmware package and try hook it with bootloader or unzip and get the thing you need.
Pick the option and I'll write simple instruction.
I forget to read your previous post. ) So, you have 2.18.161.3 Vodafone. With root privileges (half-root, I assume)
So, yes, you need to restore original recovery of yours. Then it could handle the ota. If you can get it somewhere, you can update. You can get it in vodafone firmware (big package with everything) or if someone made recovery backup earlier.
My upload contains files for non-locked (operator's) devices.
As long as your phone has operator's rom, I can't give you proper advice. I assume, other recoveries/kernels/etc. might not be ok with your device due to hardware lock or difference.
But you can try always, if you sure you can handle it and revert or if you read on your situation enough. I can't advice you here on 100%.
But. If device is just a device, and roms are just roms (and some operator's special version is just a rom), you can flash other system and kernel and see what happens.
You may do a complete backup and save it somewhere and do one of the following:
Flash firmware.zip* contents, then go to TWRP and format all partitions except sdcard, then flash system image from above.
Just flash some custom 5.1.1 release. I use NostromoPop. It much smoother and it's lollipop.
*Firmware.zip contains boot, hboot, recovery. All that was for 2.19.401.2 but presumably can work separate. So you can get what you want and flash through adb. Like boot and hboot for proper device work on 2.19.401.2, or just recovery to try your vodafone ota w/o dramatic changes.
For futher safeness, you can backup hboot and boot or what you want.
I can recommend you to try custom sense-kernel for system write privileges.

Sorry to be a pain and your help is invaluable but just trying not to screw this up, My phone has been unlocked to all networks, and I would like either a stock rom bloatware free or a custom sense rom.
The phone is still S-On but I have unlocked the bootloader (Obviously). I Kept the stock rom hoping to use titanium backup to remove the bloat however I quickly found out the phone needed to be S-Off to remove it completely because as soon as the phone rebooted the bloatware re-installed it's self.
This is how I have the OTA update sat on my phone, I only Rooted for SU privs and put on TWRP everything else was stock. I did as a question in another post "Could I remove the APK from the OTA Zip on my phone then install it using TWRP and would that remove the bloat" but no response to that one.
Any help would be greatly recieved

Simply flash custom kernel: like liberty sense or stock sense w/ dt2w.
It will unlock the opportunity to write on every partition. I mean system, cache, etc.

Hi
I will assume you have the virus I have been seeing lately that wouldn't allow you to reset the phone, where in reset option the automatic restore option remains checked and you can't uncheck it.
The only solution is through TWRP, you need to enter TWRP, erase Cache, Data, System then flash the Lollipop ROM again or stock from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...one-mini-2-t3250020/post63859743#post63859743
So there is no Rom available that's pretty much stock without bloatware that I can install with twrp? If not is there some idiots guide to putting my stock recovery back on thank you all again

[ROOT] Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21, Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Hello there!
Following these steps, you'll be able to root your freshly marshmallowed P8 Lite.
The method was tested by several other users, with not just this model.
Requirements:
Huawei P8 Lite with the Chinese 6.0 Firmware
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP Recovery (Kirin Chipset)
Do you have everything above?
Good, here are the steps:
Go to THIS post, and download the attachment of it. (BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-SYSTEMMODE.zip)
Put this zip on your SD Card.
Boot into recovery and flash it.
That is all what you need to do.
Credits goes to: aufarxda for making the working zip, zirangua for trying and successfully rooting our device with this, and of course Chainfire for making rooting phones possible and easy.
Note:
If you tried with the official zips from Chainfire's thread, you should rooted your phone as well, but the root was lost after a few reboots.
At least it was like that for me.
The reason for this, Chainfire introduced a new way of rooting the phone, which called "systemless" root. It means, no modification is made to your /system partition, only to your boot image.
The install script of this zip checks for compatibility to do "systemless" root, and if it can do that, it'll do that.
However, with our device, something must be messed up with the boot image, because it seems to be resetting after few (or the first) reboots.
The downloaded zip was modified in a way, that the script only root your phone via the old method, modifying your /system partition.
The whole point to have a "systemless" root is not rerooting after every update, or system reset, however, it seems like it's not working well with our phone, so only the old method remains.
Twrp needed?

Yes, it's needed, and thanks for pointing this out.
How are flash in Recovery Mode? He gives 3 options: Reboot - Download new Version and Recovery - Shutdown!?
You have to flash TWRP by fastboot adb before.

I'm wonderin too. But this is not only difference in Chinese ROM. On B524 not feature like Touch Plus, Smart Care, Mobile data traffic counter, HiCloud and many others
So my opinion is Chinese firmware is much better that European. For that I change my ALE-L21 to ALE-UL00

so.. do you think it is better to flash back chinese beta v 311 (?) instead of 524? I looked for more stable bluetooth connection, and now i see differences...
I never use Bluetooth. But Chinese version of 6.0 is B535

[Q] is there a factory restore (not reset) available?

I'd like to do a clean re-install of the OS before moving everything over to the phone ... but I don't see any downloads for the 3T on the OP downloads page?

Dare I ask what went wrong?
I was going to unlock the bootloader (since it would require a full wipe if I waited and did it later), but otherwise stop there (I don't think changing recovery or rooting result in any need to wipe)
There is a full OTA zip in the 2nd post of the TWRP thread. This may solved your problem. But I do suggest you read the whole thread, as there maybe info that regard to your bootloader issue. I noticed that some of the OP3T came with OOS 3.5.1, which have issue w/ custom recovery. So you have to upgrade to 3.5.3.
PS: there is this full backup available also.

After mucking around with TWRP/Root, I decided I wanted to try the plain vanilla SafetyNet-compliant OxygenOS experience. In TWRP, I flashed the 3.5.3 OTA from here. I rebooted my phone into Fastboot and relocked the bootloader, then rebooted back into OxygenOS. I think relocking the bootloader and flashing the OTA are interchangeable.
Also, from what I recall, if you want to flash the file through the stock recovery, have the file downloaded to the root of your internal storage partition and name it ota.zip. Either download it while in the OS, or use Fastboot mode and use adb push to upload it from your computer to your phone through USB. Reboot into Recovery and there should be an option to update.

No, the recommended is the local update
Nice work
Thanks for this. This is my first OnePlus device. I'm coming from a 5-year-old HTC One so updating pretty much meant wiping phone completely and reinstalling the ROM. I watched that video on the local update method. Good to know that even the full ROM installation doesn't wipe my data.
I do need some clarification on some things, though. I'm case 2 - stock ROM, unlocked BL & rooted. I have YouTube Vanced installed via Magisk as well as AdAway. I assume those would be considered modifications. In this guide, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78026660&postcount=3, it says that rooted users need to first uninstall Magisk & restore images before installing the update. Then reinstall Magisk after updating. But here it doesn't mention the need to do this. What's the difference between these two processes? I've read lots of posts lately where people get into a soft brick situation after making some modifications. But I'm not seeing any explinations as to why this happens & I'd like to avoid that.
If I use the local update method from this thread, will Magisk survive the update and will I still be rooted? Or will I need to reinstall it & re-root?

If you flash a stock rom you will lose all the mods you already do, root and twrp included. If you want you can keep the root, i will attach a image guide.

Those are the instructions that I was referring to that had me a bit confused. Is there any benefit to doing the update that way compared to using the local update method and re-flashing Magisk, the way I did when I rooted the first time? Does one method have less potential for messing something up?

Hey guys,
Re: OnePlus6T, Oxygen OS 9.0.7
SOS: Can anyone give me a Guide for Dummies (lol) kinda tutorial on how to unroot, remove twrp, remove magisk, remove adb+fastboot and everything else that had been done in the process of rooting+modding. (root as per https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-your-oneplus-6t-with-magisk-0190586/ ) (stereo mod as per https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/magisk-stereo-speaker-mod-oneplus-6t-t3860041)
Actually, i am a total newbie/non-techie. But right after updating to os 9.0.7, i took fancy to having a stereo output through the earpiece, too. But in the end, there was no sound from the earpiece. Also, i found some other complications in other sections of the phone, although i don't know whether they were related/due to the stereo mod or the rooting process. And being a non-techie, I did not want to tinker with my phone any further. So, i decided to roll back and intuitively (1)first uninstalled stereo mod from magisk, (2)then uninstalled magisk from within the magisk itself, (3)then used the case #2 method, illustrated at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/how-to-update-return-to-stock-oneplus-6-t3870795 to go back to the stock rom.
But i find that i have still not gone fully back to the factory state. When booting, i find the screen which informs me about the unlocked fastboot status, etc., which shows that twrp etc are still on my system. I would certainly want to go back to the factory condition. Will someone of you guide me step by step (as i am a non-techie) into removing this fastboot, twrp, etc. and bring me back to the factory condition and also (ii)in removing any fastboot/adb related things, if any, from my windows 10 PC? I shall be very grateful, as I am scared as well as left with no further technical skill to delve further into technical misadventure. It was my big mistake to undertake this exercise, without possessing any technical knowhow, i admit.
Anyway, someone please help.

Hi I need your help, Iwant yo re-lock the bootloader on my OnePlus 6T
I understand that I have to go back everything on factory but I dont know how do it.
I did the ''root'' because I wanted to change the font and improve the sound but tlost quality on Netflix, and I that is important to me because I use it a lot. I want to back to L1
The problem was when I tried to eliminate the ''root'' (magisk) The system did not star and i was afraid because Iam not an expert so i flashed the ''full OTA'' and it works again, Now I want to remove twrp but I dont know how so I need help because i dont want brick my phone
I got the recovery 9.0.7 stock.img if I flash it will work?
I have stock rom with TWRP, Can I relock the bootloader?
MSMTool remove TWRP?
sorry for my english..

First post is pretty clear. If you don't know what to do go with the fastboot method, the local update method (if that's what you did with full OTA) must have overwritten your recovery anyway. Boot in recovery to see which recovery you have.
Hello,
I used your fastboot guide yesterday to recover my phone but I accidently flashed a newer version (9.0.10) then I had (9.0.7).
Do I need to reflash my device? If so with what method?
Steps I did:
1. Boot TWRP and wiped all except Internal Storage
2. Reboot in to the bootl;oader
3. Unpacked 9.0.10-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_017_all_1812111237_f52c4612-FASTBOOT.zip
4. Used flash-all.bat
5. Phone rebooted and working
I did not used TWRP because it did not show the correct internal storage??? If antone knows how to fix that please let me know using latest blu_spark TWRP

Maybe no one will do because they could be afraid of getting bricked or afraid of not receiving ota updates anymore. If only bs team will share it (and not sell), we won't have this problem. Now I hope they fail spectacularly on the next update or in JoyUI12 so they wont have a choice but to release full rom over ota. Imagine that.
the method is very easy ;-; , sad
I would love to dump my rom, but the thing is, this TWRP recovery won't guarantee the safety of my device. I just bought this and I check the link and the files that were put in there, I'm not sure if I should risk flashing a modified TWRP created by an unknown dev, I also would not risk flashing a Chinese TWRP recovery not knowing the compatibility of Global devices to CN ones. You're right, it is easy as point click and type commands, but the risk is high also and bricking the phone is too easy too. I hope Blackshark really opens up on devs like what Asus is doing on their ROG3. This would make their device a lot more famous, allowing developers collaborate with each other. If I can't figure out a safe way to root and install custom recovery at least in the next few months, I might sell this device, too bad this has serious hardware that can rival flagships but, it's a deal breaker for us not to have custom recovery backups and rooting too. Ecosystem is too restrictive. I dunno what these chinese folks were thinking when they made this device.

don't have error. If you would want revert back for stock recovery, just lock your bootloader again and it will revert back for original system.

Yours is a CN Model. Mine isn't, this is Global already. I haven't studied the phone differences yet so I can't comment too much, I'll have to check how to get stock images to revert to original system. There's no known downloadable image right?

There's none. But you have it on your phone. And if you know how, maybe you can pull it.

For generate new system and vendor need use standard command from readme of tool, for boot need use this command ./ApplyPatch boot.img - (sha1 of new image) 100663296 (sha1 old image) boot.img.p
